In JFrog Cloud, is there a way to add custom settings to the artifactory.system.properties file?
We'd like to enable numeric sorting in the artifact tree browser.
You can reach out to JFrog Support team who helps in changing the values according to your need.

I'm looking for a way to set retention period in JFrog Arttifactory, which will remove SNAPSHOT versions older than 100 days.
If any teams need particular files need to be keep in Artifactory forever, need to exclude some path alone in that repo from retention policy and other directories should be removed as per the retention policy.
According to this article you should be able to build an AQL
that will help you find the artifacts you would like to delete and then use the code from the article to delete it.
Other than that, JFrog has a few built in plug-ins on the github page - you can see if one of them suits you.
In JFrog Artifactory, I need to delete the artifacts which are not downloaded for a period of 6 months. I have gone through the JFrog repository. It is mentioned to run via REST API, but I am not pretty sure how to use it.
How can we implement this? or if there is some other way?
I would recommend to refer to this user plugin, artifactCleanUp plugin can be used to delete artifacts which are not downloaded for certain days/months.
The easiest way would be to use the delete command of the JFrog CLI.
The command accepts a file spec.
Write an AQL query with Relative Time Operators, and pass it in the aql field of the file spec.
I'm a new Artifactory user. My company just setup Artifactory v6.5.2 and I'm looking to use is for managing software deployed for our production team. What I need is a download link that will get documented in our product management system that directly points to the exact file that Software deployed for Production to use. I was anticipating this would look like this:
https://artifactory.mycompany.com/artifactory/myrepo/mymodule/mypkgfile_v1_b30b890becfb4a02510ed12a7283c676.tgz
I'm not seeing that Artifactory can do this for me. What I see is I can do this:
http://artifactory.mycompany.com/artifactory/myrepo/mymodule/mypkgfile_v1.tgz
However if another artifact is deployed with the same name, it's not reflected in the download link. This means that the link could return different results.
Am I missing something or am I asking Artifactory do something it's not intended to do?
Artifactory returns the URL based on on the filename and the path (as any web server would do). Here are two options to achieve what you need:
Name the artifacts uniquely (timestamps are the simplest). Instead of naming the artifact mypkgfile_v1.tgz, name it mypkgfile_v1-1553038888.tgz (I used the Unix Epoch time, but everything unique enough will do).
This one is more evolved but doesn't require you to change the naming scheme.
First, configure a custom repository layout to match your versioning.
Once you've done that, every time you deploy an artifact, attach a unique identifier to the artifact as property during deployment (using matrix params, for example), deploying your artifact as mypkgfile_v1;timestamp=1553038888.
On the revrieval, use the token for the latest release together with the timestamp you need as a matrix param:mypkgfile_v[RELEASE];timestamp=1553038888
I have a requirement to implement the advance search in sonatype nexus. Can I create the custom keyword to search an artifacts in Nexus? As an example I am looking for all the artifacts uploaded by user "X". In the same way I may have different key to search the artifacts.
Can someone please give me a pointer?
Thanks,
Sanjiv
This is currently not possible with Nexus Repository Manager 3. The user who uploaded an artifact is saved but not to metadata currently. You may file an issue at https://issues.sonatype.org/projects/NEXUS to express interest in this functionality, however.
I am looking for a solution that would allow me to have a network share where people can access (read-only) the artifacts from an Artifactory repository.
Why? We use Artifactory to also keep track of big binaries like installation kits, ISO images and so on and it takes a lot of time to download all of them (sometimes as zips), unpack and run them. If these would be exported to a NFS/SMB share people would be able to only mount them in order to use them.
How can we achieve this? Please keep in mind that we also want to automate this, so the files would be updated by Artifactory when needed.
Artifactory supports WebDAV out of the box.
It seems that's not possible at this moment and there is a feature request for enabling it:
https://www.jfrog.com/jira/browse/RTFACT-8302
Feel free to vote and to comment on it, allowing jFrog to realise how important is this use case.
I guess they should be able to provide a script that does mirror/sync a repository to a NFS share but that would almost double the storage space needed.
Instead if they would use hardlinks or symlinks to create a browsable tree of the repository inside the storage directory, this would be solved and no sync will be needed.
